The activity sheet contains 20 questions that can be used as the basis of a lesson or for a classwork or homework sheet on solving multi-step equations.

The emphasis is to use the distributive property and/or combine like terms to simplify the equation to a two-step equations of the form ax+b =c. 

The activity sheet has
• four equations where students combine like terms first,
• four problems where they use the distributive property first,
• four equations where they will use a reciprocal to simplify the equation,
• three equations where they can choose their method of solving,
• one exercise where they must discover where the error was made by a student in solving a multi-step equation,
• two more challenging multi-step equations to solve,  and
• two exercises where students write an multi-step equation for a perimeter problem. 

A complete set of solutions is included
